Are you joking? If not...how so? First I have ever heard of red wine helping allergies. Wow.

I've had horrendous allergies most of my life, and wine does NOT help. In fact, it makes it worse, something to do with the congestion. Anyway, I went to an allergy immunolist and got treated, and now I feel like living isn't such a bad thing after all. Besides the medications (like flonase and allegra), using a saline nasal wash helps tremendously. I bought one of those little cup thingys that looks like a small Aladdin's lamp, and wash my sinuses out a couple of times a day during periods of time when my allergies really flare up.

I'm sort of joking, but I am in the same boat as you, my allergies have been driving me crazy. I've been really hit hard this year and have had hard time dealing with it.For some reason drinking wine eases the problem,and not just in the short term for me.

HOT SPICE TEA...I drank this by the gallon when I had tonsillitis. It helped my throat immensely:

1 jar tang
1 pk lemonaid mix (Unsweetened)
1/2 cup instant tea (Plain no lemon or sugar)
1 teaspoon cloves (ground)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups sugar
Mis all in a large bowl and put in plastic containers and put in fridge. Also you might get a little bottle of honey and add a teaspoon after you mix your tea. 3 or 4 teaspoons in a cup of boiling water.
